'It seemed intentional': 10-year-old hit on bike in Aurora

Aurora Police are investigating after a 10-year-old boy was hit while on his bike on Sunday.

AURORA, Colo. — Aurora Police are investigating a reported hit-and-run crash Sunday night that injured a 10-year-old boy.

It happened around 5:30 p.m. near the intersection of East Davies and East Ottawa drives.

Kelcey Kittleson said her son Leo had stopped to watch the sunset when a truck came up quickly behind him.

“He was just sitting on his bike, and the truck came down the road and hit the back tire of his bike, and he went flying," Kittleson said. “It did seem like it was intentional.”

Kittleson said her son injured his ankle and was quite rattled, but he was able to get a good look at the truck as it sped away.

“He said there were seven kids in the truck. Four in the cab in the truck, and three teens in the bed of the truck,” Kittleson said.

Minutes later, she said another parent came down the road, asking about a truck that had just tried to hit her son, who was also riding his bike.

“I mean, as a parent, it’s just unfathomable that someone would be out intentionally trying to hit kids on bikes,” Kittleson said. “It’s just a scary situation.”

Aurora Police said they are investigating the reports but that no suspects have been identified.

The Kittlesons believe the truck is likely an older model Chevy.

Anyone with information is asked to call Aurora Police.
